In the second year of Chongzhen, Xifengkou was in flames, and the golden iron hoof crushed the dream of the Central Plains. Zhang Qian, a modern retired soldier, transformed his soul into a frontier soldier Xiaoqi in Jiliao Town who had his military pay deducted. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Behind him are the crumbling robes, in front of him are the Tatar cavalry wielding swords, and under their feet is the frozen bloody land - this is the desperate situation of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty, and it is also his starting point. From captain of ten to the general banner, from temporary garrison to taking root in Zunhua, he led a group of remnant soldiers to clear up wasteland and farmland in the desperate situation of no food and pay. He used modern military training methods to forge sharp soldiers, and used iron-blooded skills to fight against the Houjin Iron Cavalry and the thugs in troubled times. The factions in the court are like swords, Chongzhen is jealous like wolves, Wu Sangui has hidden ambitions, and Li Zicheng is a refugee. Zhang Qian knew that the flow of history was irreversible, but he decided to use his corner of the frontier army as a base to gather food and grass, train strong soldiers, build a strong city, and carve out an iron-blooded path of "defending the land, defending the people, and rebuilding the world" in the cracks of the shattered world. In front of the Iron Wall Fort, he used firearms to break the myth of cavalry; at Shanhaiguan, he used sharp soldiers to prevent the Tatars from entering the pass. Let's take a look at how the general flag of the border army gathered sand to form a tower in the bloody furnace of the late Ming Dynasty, held a spear and set the cauldron, and let the dragon flag fly high above the border dust!
